Image via CrunchBaseYesterday evening, September 8, 2010 it took me over 2 1/2 hours to download and install the new IOS 4.1 update on my iPod Touch. The servers were very slow and my update timed out 4 times. Finally I was successful. Upon the completion I immediately noticed that my device launched programs faster, in a way similar to the way it operated prior to installing IOS 4. I was happy. However by biggest complaint concerning the iOS4 updates was its negative effect on my iPod Touch second generations battery life. I had previously experimented with numerous setting and one Apple patch in order to somewhat mitigate this problem but it still remained. If I left my iPod Touch on all night with the WiFi radio on I would see a 25%-40% battery drain the next day.This morning I eagerly looked at the battery meter on my iPod Touch to see if there was a significant overnight battery drain. Guess what. My battery is still reading 100% as it normally would read before the iOS4 update. It appears that Apple has corrected the battery drain problem. I even received push notifications during the night and this morning.
This battery drain fix should work on your iPhone 3 devices also.
